COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Another "Not so West Coast" IPA, the latest in Adam’s hop shortage series of IPA’s. Not as dry as your typical San Diego IPA, this one has much more of a malt backbone to complement a hopping schedule that emphasized mid-late boil additions of Amarillo, Columbus, Cascade, and Centenniel. This beer was brewed as an ale for most of its fermentation than a lager strain was introduced to finish. 7% ABV

On-tap at BS Vista. Pours hazy amber with a thin white head, specks of lace. Smells syrupy grassy and hoppy sweet. Tastes sweet and caramelly grassy hoppy with a mild lingering bitterness.Grass, slight citrus. Pretty ok. Medium body, good carbonation.

Had a pint of this brew on tap at BSB, Vista. Pours a rusty orange hue, with a bright white head. Nose has an incredible hoppiness and some sweet maltiness. The flavor is very interesting balance of rich malts and tangy citrus hops. The mouthfeel is full and enjoyable. The late addition of hops really adds a nice touch of hop flavor and aroma without the crazy bitterness of alot of other ipas. Yo Adam, when you brew, you know what to do!
